land of 10,000 lakes

Warm weather! Everyone laughs when I say I have to go to MN to get warm, after our miserable summer we've been having NY... We're all snuggled into our little tiny cabin, enjoying the sun, water and friends!
And yes a little sewing too. Some people read to go to sleep, I have throw out a few stitches...

Yesterday, I got to meet Heather and Joel of Anka's treasures, aka trends & tradtions. We can actually see their house from our cabin...
Ok, now we can all sing, "It's a small world after all."
yeah, funny story, I realized after following her blog and seeing a picture out of her studio window, that Irecognized the two islands that she sees! they, ebing the islands I am on the other side of!

Heather's stuff was beautiful, Terribly nice people, and a gorgeous house! They've done so much work to it, it's lovely, and her studio is to die for. Even Daisy the dog is ALL Joel says she is... ;-)

Look at these cuties I found in an antique shop! Love the pattern, perhaps I'll adapt it for my block for the Pixiedust gather! I hope you all got your fabrics!
Look what the critters did to this tree by the lake? it almost looks like a sculpture!

  8. I'm seriously going to Mapquest your lake and figure out how far a drive it is...You might have an uninvited guest on your doorstep one of these days especially if you don't stop posting these sorts of photos!

    Got the fabric, hopefully going to create a block or two this weekend. Enjoy your stay!

  13. Enjoy your time in MN. You'll be happy to know that the rainy pattern has broken in the northeast. I don't think I could have taken another rainy day up here in NH. It has been gorgeous here this week so I hope it stays.
